Very interesting depictions of South America just before the millennium. Also good if you like motorcycles.

I really enjoyed this book about a family, traveling around the world. Many of the places they visit I‘ve been myself too and I could easily identify with them. The places I didn‘t visit, I now want to go as well!
I also enjoyed the family dynamics. Fun read that I‘ll be using for #ReadingThe Americas23 #Peru and #FoodAndLit #Chile. 🇵🇪 🇨🇱

Thanks for the recommendation Meg 🤍

Librarybelle I‘m definitely going to check this out! 1mo
BarbaraBB @Librarybelle It‘s entertaining and educational! 1mo

Poppy is obviously not impressed with my #bookspin choices this month. She's a harsh critic.

So, my bookspin one is the tagged book. It's been on my shelves for years. Then doublespin should be easy, since it's just an audiobook, and I always manage lots of those each month. Happy November everybody! 🦃

This was a fascinating true crime read, about the murders exactly 5 years apart, of Natalee Holloway, who many will have heard of, and Stephany Flores, who I had not heard of.

This guy truly is a monster.

I‘m using this for #aruba for #readingtheamericas23, but it would also work for #peru and #chile.

BarbaraBB He is Dutch and continuously talking to Dutch journalists. He‘s crazy as hell. And stupid. He just confessed the murder of Natalee but his story seems a lie once again 1mo
squirrelbrain I read all about that recent ‘confession‘ @BarbaraBB - but I don‘t think he can be trusted at all. 1mo
Librarybelle @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB This whole case has been bizarre and such a long struggle for justice. I‘m kind of curious to read it, only because of reading the story for so long. 1mo
robinb I can remember so vividly where I was when I first saw the news about Natalee‘s disappearance. I was out eating dinner with my family. It was big news nationally but even more so here in Alabama where she lived. It‘s been heartbreaking to see what her family has had to go through over the years. 😔 1mo

So for my #ReadingTheAmericas2023 reading challenge I decided to get nostalgic for #Peru and read this one set in Peru! I loved Nancy Drew as a little girl so this was a fun and fast read. #bookspin @librarybelle @BarbaraBB @thearomaofbooks

BarbaraBB So fun, Nancy Drew! 1mo
Librarybelle That is so cool!! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 1mo

1. I do not. I do believe in “fake it till you make it” because I have occasionally achieved this, though it can take a toll on one mentally.

2. The tagged book that I never finished.

I was disappointed that I had to bail on this one, because I was really intrigued by “At Night We Walk in Circles” many years ago. I just could not get into these short stories, however. They just seemed too vague, with characters I couldn‘t relate to, as well as many of them being set in the US when it was my #Peru choice for #ReadingTheAmericas2023.

Librarybelle Good to bail on something that is not grabbing your interest! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes a book just isn't the right match!! 2mo
TheBookHippie I‘m home I‘ve got to get it together and I‘ll mail out the book! 😅😵‍💫😂🤦🏻‍♀️😝 2mo

Educational and entertaining! What more can one ask for? Mark Adams retraces the footsteps of Hiram Bingham, who introduced Machu Picchu to the world in 1911, then Adams returns to confirm the Incas‘ engineering was superbly accurate aligning with the winter solstice. Adams is self-deprecating but clearly very brave, willing to expend an enormous effort when he hadn‘t so much as tented in his own backyard as a child. A book not to be missed for ⬇️

Texreader anyone interested in history, the Incas, South America, travel, #Peru, the Andes—or anyone just wanting a good read. My only complaint? The author‘s photos weren‘t in color and were very small. #readingtheamericas (edited) 2mo

I‘m spending a good part of the first day of #scarathlon trying to finish books I started in September for #readingtheAmericas.
